EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard, dated around 1915, captures a poignant moment in history as a row of little girls diligently knit for their Fatherland during World War I. The image, titled "Furs Vaterland" (For the Fatherland), is a poignant reminder of the significant role civilians played in supporting the war effort. During this time, knitting became a popular pastime and a symbol of patriotism. Women and children across the warring nations, including Germany, knitted comforts such as socks, scarves, and mittens for soldiers at the front. These handmade items provided both physical warmth and a sense of connection to home. The girls in this postcard are shown sitting on a bench, each focused intently on their knitting, their expressions filled with determination and concentration. Their woolen balls and needles are scattered around them, evidence of their industriousness. The girls' woolly creations, still in progress, are displayed on the bench, waiting to be completed and sent off to the troops. This charming postcard not only highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of civilians during wartime but also serves as a reminder of the human spirit's ability to come together in times of need. The image of these little girls knitting for their Fatherland is a poignant and enduring symbol of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
